Huh? Are they all real?.

Chapter 382: Church of Steel Heart (4k)

Looking at the ancient white jade in front of me.

Moon, who was standing in front of the ruins, couldn't help but pause here.

The White Wall, where he, as Erenion Gil-galad, challenged the sky and took back the stars for the people.

The white wall that served as his platform for climbing to the roof also completely collapsed.

'Maybe we should have chosen another place.'

The countless fragments under his feet gave Moon this idea.

"It looks like someone has already gotten there before us."

Standing next to Moon was naturally Queen Sereshela.

Of course, it can also be said to be the Holy Grail.

“Judging from the size, this should be a camp of 3,000 people, but the strange thing is, they seemed to have been here just a moment ago.”

There was steaming food on the table, half-eaten bread on the floor, and mules and horses that had not been locked up in the stable.

All of this shows that there were people active here just now.

What she observed, Moen naturally observed as well.

But Moen knew better than her.

"Some of them must have entered the maze, and something unexpected happened, causing them all to disappear."

The entrance opened by the orcs was still visible on the stone wall ahead.

"I think we should move on."

After saying this, Moon walked forward.

The Holy Grail of the Incarnation Queen naturally followed behind Moon.

"You don't have to come, really. After all, I don't have the confidence to guarantee your safety."

It was dangerous here, that was for sure, so Moon really hoped she would stop there.

But it was obvious that she would not listen to Moon at all:

"Now that I've met you, I won't let you go in alone. I'll stay by your side, just like a queen would do."

"Because, this is what the Queen wants."

The Holy Grail is a miracle that grants wishes.

So Mo En, knowing that he couldn't persuade her, gave up trying to persuade her and just said:
"Remember to follow me later. I think I know what's inside."

Moon was sure that this place must have been designed by himself, and if he were to design the maze himself.

Based on what Moon knew about himself, he thought he would pay tribute crazily again.

As for what to pay tribute to, that's even simpler.

After all, there are only a few famous ones related to mazes.

In front of the maze entrance.

Both Moon and the Queen looked at the advice engraved in front of the entrance.

The text that emerged this time was its original form, that is, the ancient text from the Genesis period - the Holy Word.

That is the miracle of the power of writing simply by the words themselves.

Turn back, there is despair ahead!

Looking at this advice that had an extremely familiar smell, Moon was now 100% sure that this was designed by him, and what he was paying tribute to.

After coughing twice, Moen hurriedly said:

"I think we better hurry."

The Queen naturally agreed with all his actions, and as Morn walked straight over the advice, she followed closely.

Although she had already sent out the message in advance and attracted special vanguards.

But she was still full of fear of this maze.

A deep taboo that has no reason but is rooted deep in the heart!

It was as if there was something extremely terrifying hidden in this maze.

This made her very uneasy, because she initially thought that her taboo was because there was an anomalous history behind the maze that could never be returned.

But when she actually came to the maze, she was surprised to find that what she seemed to be afraid of was the maze itself.

As she was walking, she ran into a warm embrace and was hugged and pulled aside.

She was distracted and was hugged by Moen who saw something.

At this moment, she could no longer think about why she had made such a low-level mistake as being distracted, because her entire attention was drawn to Moon who was holding her.

She didn't know why she was attracted to it, but she knew that the more she tried to understand, the more attracted she would be.

"Be careful."

A huge iron ball fell from above their heads and rolled along the suspended ladder in front of them.

The corpses scattered on the ladder proved the danger of the trap.

Watching the iron ball rolling away, Moon looked down at the queen in his arms and said:
"I told you to be careful, what's going on?"

As Moen's concerned eyes swept over, the queen came back to her senses and said:

"I'm thinking about something, something, and it's just an iron ball. I won't be hurt by it."

Seeing that she didn't seem to notice the situation, Mo En reminded her:

"Don't you feel it?"

"what?"

After saying this, the stunned queen looked down at her hands.

"This maze has taken away my power? But why didn't I notice it at the beginning?"

In an instant, the queen realized why she was so wary of this maze.

"Although I have a lot to say, let's forget about it now. Because."

After looking up, Moon pulled the queen to the edge of the platform at the entrance.

Beneath their feet was a bottomless dark abyss.

On the other side is a cliff.

"Why did you bring me here? To observe the pattern of that trap?"

Moen shook his head and said:

"No, there's no point in observing that, because I will definitely design an iron ball that will not only find people automatically, but also roll back the same way after rolling to the end."

“So, we can’t go that way.”

As he spoke, Moon realized his mistake in speaking.

So he hurriedly added with a smile:
"Of course, this maze was definitely not designed by me. However, if it were me, I would definitely do this. After all, this is a fortress used to prevent others from destroying the door!"

However, Moon's addition was obviously unnecessary because the Queen didn't care about it at all.

She just frowned and said:

"So why are you here?"

Seeing that the Queen really had no intention of asking him any further questions.

Only then did Moon take out a bullet from his arms.

This is for the revolver.

Then, Moon threw it into the abyss in front of him.

"Since that's a dead end, then I must, no, I mean if I were to design it, I would definitely leave myself a safe path. For example, this one!"

The bullet did not fall for a long time without any sound as expected.

Instead, as soon as I threw it down, I heard a crisp bouncing sound.

This made Mo En smile slightly:
"I was right, the real road is hidden underneath!"

Morn walked to the edge of the cliff, dangling one of his feet, then looked back at the queen and said:
“This is the path of the brave!”

Moon, who was about to step down after saying this, caught a glimpse of the queen's emerald green dress.

Moen immediately retracted his foot and said to the queen:

"Oh, please come here for a moment."

The queen naturally responded and stepped forward.

Moon picked up the queen and jumped down amid her screams.

Seeing the queen who was about to shout, Moen, who was holding her, smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm just afraid of dirtying your skirt. Look, we didn't fall."

Obviously, Moon had no idea why the Queen exclaimed.

As he spoke, Moon stepped accurately on a step.

At the same time, as Moon fell, the originally bottomless abyss was like an old mine that was finally electrified, with one step after another lighting up.

The passage at the bottom was revealed.

Moon, who had jumped down with the queen in his arms, didn't put her down until here.

But when Moon bent down, he found that the queen's hands were still around his neck.

This made Moen laugh helplessly:

"We're here now. You can get off now. There's a flat road ahead. It won't be so easy to get your skirt dirty."

It was not until Moon spoke that the queen realized that she was hugging Moon tightly.

After looking into each other's eyes for a moment, the queen paused before letting go of her hand.

"terribly sorry."

"No, it's nothing."

Moon, who focused most of his attention on this maze, obviously did not pay much attention to the changes in the queen's expression.

He just looked carefully at everything in front of him.

Then, Moon's eyes lit up as he took out a strangely shaped stone from the niche at the entrance.

“It’s really done.”

Even if someone else were lucky enough to discover this safe passage, when they came here, they would most likely just treat the strange stones placed in these niches as ordinary decorations.

Without paying too much attention.

But if it were Moon, he would find that these strange stones were his tribute.

And recognize at a glance what these stones are used for!

"what is that?"

The Queen was obviously a little curious when she saw the strange prop in Moon's hand, but Moon smiled mysteriously and said:

"This is a magical tool that we'll use later!"

After saying that, he put away the prop that was covered with golden patterns, which looked like a piece of equipment that was missing from something.

But Moon's suspense failed to arouse the Queen's curiosity.

After all, she knew the concepts, but she couldn't understand them herself.

If you can't even understand, there's no way you can give a corresponding response.

But Moon thought this was a good thing, because when they first met, she had proved that even if she didn't understand these things, she could still make a perfect disguise.

And now, she had no disguise in front of herself.

So Moon just smiled and walked into the passage.

They had not walked far when their way was blocked by a stone wall.

The queen walked forward and touched the stone wall, then frowned and said:
"It seems like a dead end?"

Moen, who deliberately stood behind her, leaned against the stone wall and smiled:

"No, it's not a dead end, it just needs a little knock."

As Moon raised his fist and hit the stone wall hard, the stone wall that had just blocked his way disappeared out of thin air.

To be honest, Moon really wanted to revisit the classic roll.

After all, how can you break the classic air wall in the Souls-like games without rolling?
But considering that the Holy Grail was right in front of him, Moon restrained himself.

Men will always have a childlike innocence, but they will also always pay attention to their image in front of the opposite sex.

Especially since the Holy Grail still uses the appearance of Celesera.

However, as the air wall disappeared, the strong smell of blood that had been blocked outside the wall came directly over.

Follow the smell and look forward.

Morn and the Queen saw a hall filled with corpses.

And hundreds of little devil statues that were constantly hacking the corpse into pieces.

At this moment, all the little demons suddenly looked at Moon and the other man who suddenly appeared.

The atmosphere, which had been extremely relaxed before, almost reached its peak of tension at this moment.

The queen subconsciously stood in front of Moon.

There is no doubt that these monsters are the guards here, and as intruders, they will obviously be the targets of attack!

Moreover, those little demons were indeed running towards the two of them.

Before she was really about to do anything, a hand was placed on her shoulder and then walked past her side and protected her behind him.

The whole process was smooth and without any hesitation.

This made the queen's eyes inevitably focus on him again.

At the same time, with Moon's official appearance, the little demons rushing over stopped immediately.

Instead, they lowered their heads in fear, like slaves seeing their master, and quickly fled to the back.

Soon, all the little devil statues in the hall disappeared completely.

Only a large number of shapeless corpses were left.

This made Moon couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth again.

He has just completed another tribute - that is in The Mummy 2, the high priest Imhotep scared away the guards of the pyramid with just his appearance!

This feeling is so great!

However, as he glanced around, Moon noticed something strange among the corpses.

The Queen also noticed the change in his expression and immediately asked:
"what happened?"

Moon pointed to the left and said:
"There, there are several bodies there that don't match these people."

Having said that, Moon picked up the queen by the waist again.

He wanted to walk over, but he didn't want her skirt to be stained with blood.

This time the queen did not exclaim, but her arms were still around Moon.

This made her eyes fall on Moon's face first, and then on her hands which moved subconsciously for some reason.

'Something's not right with me, and I need to find out why!'

While the queen was thinking, Moon had already carried her to the place.

As expected, the corpses here were not tomb robbers with various equipments, but real knights in armor.

The heavy armor ensures that even if they die in battle, people can still tell their difference at a glance.

The queen finally turned her gaze towards them.

"There are about 3,000 of them, and judging by their attire, I can be sure they are the Badar Adventure Group, which is famous for robbing ruins."

"However, the tomb robbers who have been active in various ruins for many years obviously don't have the standard equipment of knights. So, in addition to them, there is another group of people coming?"

"Could you please turn them over?"

"I can't see the emblem on the front, I want to see if they have any identification on the back."

Mo En, who was holding her, shook his head and said:

"Don't bother. I recognize this kind of armor. This is the Steel Banner Knight of the Steel Heart Church."

The queen's brow furrowed slightly.

"Not only a knight of the Steel Heart Church, but also the most elite Knight of the Steel Banner?"

The total number of Steel Banner Knights of the Steelheart Church is only 600. They are the elite among the elite, and their rivals are the Dwarf Kingsguard and the Pure White Knights of the Pure White Dynasty.

Therefore, they will only act as the king's direct guards.

"Your Majesty, should we speed up?"

In response to the Queen's proposal, Moon smiled and shook his head again:

"No, because I'm pretty sure that the various traps and arrangements in this maze are just minor ones."

"The real highlight is at the end."

A maze that doesn’t have a boss at the end that’s so powerful it makes you vomit blood is obviously not up to standard.

And Moon will not make substandard products.
